This week's case is generously donated by Florida Fan. The following object was submitted to the laboratory for identification. It had been retrieved during colonoscopy from the cecum of a 40-year-old man.
Adult Trichuris. Retrieved from a human, so most likely T. trichiura. The first picture nicely shows why it is called the “whip worm”! Thanks Florida Fan!
